[Noble One]

[Kweek]

Ten Doeschate out for 6 weeks, no WCL for him
massive blow to the team.

 

[laksh_01]

Finally good news is Kenya to send a full strength Squad to the tournament...

 

[hkjain]

Ireland would take the lead. They even beat the beast like Pakistan earlier.

 

[laksh_01]

Ya but their team doesn't look that stronger this tournament. I think the dutch has got the strongest squad with home advantage.

Weakness in few teams:

Ireland - Squad not full in strength
Scotland - Form not that gud
Kenya - No unity & form
Afghanistan - Lack of match practise after World T20

New poster here, from Ireland, and Laksh you are right, Ireland is missing 3 key players in Niall O'Brien, Boyd Ranking and William Porterfield which is a huge loss,

keep an eye out for George Dockrell though, he is only 17 and big things are expected from him, he got a 3-16 in the recent 20/20 World Cup against the West Indies,

anyways, glad to be on a Cricket Forum finally ...

 

[laksh_01]

Welcome mate... Pls vote...

 

[IrishOpener]

Just did, went for Ireland ,

Laksh, can we borrow Tendulkar for our team?, we promise to give him back ...

Trust me buddy, there are soooo many Tendulkars in Indian domestic structure who are unable to come up cause of lot of issues...

 

[IrishOpener]

You mean the use of new and younger players is hampered with the old guard of Indian Cricket?,

or something entirely different...

 

[laksh_01]

I mean to say there are so many young players who are as talented as Tendulkar but just can't come up.

 

[IrishOpener]

Do you feel the IPL helps the younger Indian players get noticed?, or does it make much of a difference,

I feel it's given Vijay and Saha and others a window to show their skill...
